One dinky little hit to right field by Pitcher Schmlrler In the last Inning was all that Ormsby and Hicks allowed Min neapolis Sunday afternoon and not a man could find his way past first base, In the meantime Omaha garnered three runs and five hits and came off with a shut out victory, 3 to 0. Despite the cold weather and the some what clammy diamond the romo wne on of the niftiest exhibitions of the national pastlmo displayed In theso parts for many a day. It was fast and snappy all tho time, the fielding was brilliant and the game was only an hour and a half long. Ormsby pitching for Omaha held the Millers without a hit for five Innings and but two men reached first, theso on bases on balls. Their existence wn brief, however, because both were caught trying to make second. Hicks, who re lieved Ormsby. had less luck. An error gave ono man a life and the hit to right put another on first. Both of these men were also nailed before landing on tho keystone sack. Schmlrler and Gllllgan pitched good ball, allowing but five hits. But the hits, mixed with bases on balls and errors gave Omaha three counts. Wnllnce Score First, In the first Inning "Wallace was glv!n a base on balls.

He was sacrificed to second by Thomason and went to third on Congalton's out, Schmlrler to Manes. Krug then slammed a hot one to Whslen who got mixed up with the pill and Chase romped home while Krug perched on first. Krug went to second on Ward's Infield hit to short, moved to third on a base on balls to Thomas and came home when Schmlrler gave another g(ft to Crosby. Score Mnili Knrly. This ended the scoring and neither team was clangorous arter tho tnira period. Crosby caught for Omaha and showed that he Is a finished catcher. He did not perform sensationally at the bat. but ho held Ormsby, who was Inclined to be" wild, steady and used good Judgment In his signals.

The record total of 3,212 rolled by th Clara Belles and the Metropolitan tourna ment were tho main features of last week's bowling. The big score rolled by the Clara Belles tops the Booster league record of 3,118 formerly held by the Bran des Highballs. Today tho big Metropolitan tournament will end, with tho Jetter Old Ago team the five-man winners, Fanton and Mar tin the doubles winners and Zimmerman high In the singles.

An optlmlstlo view of next season's bowling was taken by all pres ent and It Is expected that next season will be the banner season of Omaha's bowling history. For next week the main excitement will be the clash between the Clara Belles and Lelsys tor tho leadership honors of the Booster league.

The Pirates led In team scoring with total of 42S points, eighty-nine more points than the Magee tt Deemers, who would have been tied with the Pirates had they not withdrawn from the league. The Plratos also had the best defensive rec ord, having less points scored against them than any other team In the league, though It was impossible to compute the number of the points secured by their opponents from the records fin hand.

CHURCH BASE BALL LEAGUE ONE OF THE PROBABILITIES Rn .uecessful was the Church basket ball league from the point of securing new members that several churches are nlannlnir to form a church baso ball league. A meeting Is to be held Tuesday evening at the Young Men s unristian as soolatlon by all churches Interested. Th First Mthodlst, First Christian ana the Hanscom Park Methodist churches are leading In the movement, and will enter teams In the association. The Hirst Memorial and the Emanuel Baptist arc also considering to enter teams. It Is planned to have six to ten teams In the league, and to play all the games on Saturday. The majority of tho con testa will be played at tho Young Men' Christian association park In East Omaha, All churches that would like to enter Into (he association are asked to attend the meeting Tuesday evening. NINE TENNIS DATES ADDED New Tourneys and Changes in Sohednles Are Annonnced. IOWA PLAY IS POSTPONED Hawker Championship Match Will lie Cnntestfit In Latter Instead of Earlier Part of September. The beginning of April marked the fflclal close of the basket ball season In Omaha and though there arc still a few. organised teams In tho city the greater number have disbanded. A greater Interest was taken In tho floor game this season than for a number of ears, nearly all the games at the Young Men's Christian association be ing played before record crowds. In tho Commercial league the Pirates camo oft with first honors. Though they wore declared winners after tho Magee & Deemers withdrew from tho or ganisation. It would be nearly Impossible to tell which was the real champion of the league. Both theso teams tied for first honors and the withdrawal of ono of them gavo the championship to the other. Had the two teams fought It out a three-game series as had been planned, It Is a certainty that followers tho game would have seen the beat played games of the season. Tho Pirates aro to bo awarded Individual medals In the near future. A few of tho remaining games of the Commercial league were called off, be cause of Injury to many of tho players. The game of the Omaha High school and Nebraska Telephone company, was called directly off because of this. Hot llnre In Church Lrsgue, Tho Church league ended with more exoltement than the Commercial, though none of the teams withdrew,' An extra game had to be playel between tho First Methodist Baracaa and tho First Chris tians to decide the champions, the formor nosing out ahead by a few points. It was more as an experiment that the Church leaguo was organised, but so great was Its success that It will be a permanent organisation. Of the many amatour teams' not en tered In the two leagues, the Athletics have the best claim to the city amatour championship. Hie Athletics have de feated all comers and on several occa sions havo given teams of the Commercial league stiff games. Under the manage ment of J. Isaacson they Invaded many of the smaller towns and nearly always came home with tho largo end of the score. Toward the ' close of the season the Athletics found It so hard to get games with locil teams that they took on the stronger teams of tho Commercial league. In the class B teams the Young Men Christian association. Squabs are tno champs. The Squabs have mado a record this season of defeating every team In their class which they havo played. For the Junior championship the Town- send Gun Co, team has the best claim. All the players of this team weigh under century mark nnd for their also and weight had the scrappiest llttlo aggrega tion in the city. Not only did they match their skill against home teams, but on many occasions walloped teams from Council Bluffs and South Omaha, Old Song Hits to the Front Pnrorltes Dear to the Ilenrtu Father anfl Mother JVnir urinir iievireii. PICKENS STARTS CAMPAIGN AGAINST FLIES WITH SCREENS Omaha's "swat the fly" campaign has been gone one better by Charles H, rick n, who believes not only In swatting the flies, but also In keeping them out of the ioue, so they do not need swat ting. He has already put a complete set of .fly screens .on the front porch and windows of his home at 127 North For tieth street and his friends are giving him credit for being the first msn In the neighborhood to rut bis hoose on the de fensive against the summer pta. Had Famuel Woodworth been writing his famous poem today he might have made tho first lino of "The Old Oaken Bucket" read: "How dear to this heart are the songs of my childhood," for nothing Is so dear to memory as the old songs that recall the familiar scenes of childhood. SamurJ Woodworth was born almost 130 years ago. Ho 'was an American Jour nallst and was the author of many books. on political subjects and romantic his tory. His "Old Oaken Bucket" was set to music, and In this form will doubtless live forever. During the last few years there has been a revival of the old songs.
